what did the study of the Rigveda reveal to the historians
Answers
Answer:Rigveda contains more than 1000 hymns and each hymn is called ‘sukta’. The term ‘sukta’ means well said. These hymns are in praise of gods.
Three main gods have been mentioned in the Rigveda. Agni is the god of fire, Indra is the god of rains and Soma was named after a plant. This plant was used for making a special drink.
The hymns in the Rigveda show the importance of rain and fire for the people. We know that rain is required for good harvest. Rain is also necessary for getting adequate drinking water. Fire is useful for cooking and for various other purposes.
The hymns were composed by sages (rishi); who were highly learned men. Some of the hymns were also composed by women. An older form of Sanskrit was used for writing the Rigvedas. The Sanskrit which we use today is entirely different from the Sanskrit in the Rigveda.
